JÄGERMEISTER COUNTRY MUSIC TOUR

Thursday: Since 2002, Jägermeister, the German herbal liqueur, has been sponsoring twice-annual rock tours featuring the likes of Slayer, Hinder and Korn. This year, Jägermeister is presenting its first country tour with headliner Eric Church, right. Having toured with Bob Seger, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts, Church has made a name for himself by mixing grit ("Guys Like Me") with bittersweet ("Hell on the Heart"). Joining the North Carolinian on tour are Josh Thompson, a Wisconsin native who has been making noise with "Beer on the Table," and Rick Monroe, who boasts a Minneapolis bride and a hard-driving, Toby Keith-evoking debut single, "Get Ur Country On." (8 p.m. Thu. $23. State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. 1-800-982-2787 or www.ticketmaster.com.)
